Myers Head lead mine is a scheduled ancient monument located in Westmorland, comprising the remains of a lead mining operation. The site dates from the medieval and early modern period, when lead extraction was undertaken in this region as part of wider mineral working in the Pennines. The mine workings include surface features such as shafts and spoil heaps that reflect the methods employed in extracting lead ore from the surrounding geology. Such sites represent important evidence of the economic and industrial activity that characterised upland areas of northern England during this period.
